Or you could use the kind of "glass" they use for TV and movie stunts. It's make out of sugar.

Spike's Bitches 46: Don't I get a cookie?
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.
I'm sorry your co-workers ated all your brownies, Jessica. Definitely put some aside in a little tupperware for yourself next time. Having grown up with a pack of ravenous brothers, it's like second nature to me now.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Oh, it's not like I didn't get any brownies. But by the time I'd stayed at work an hour late and needed a snack they were all gone.

Occasionally I’m callous and strange
having gone through a fms dx at age 19 i'm very familiar with the spoons analogy and find it apt. It's not about unlimited spoons = unlimited energy at all. I've been in a "remission" state for over 3 years now and i totally feel blessed to not have to count. I get up in the morning knowing I can pretty much do whatever i want to do during the day. Sure, i'm not out running marathons, and like everyone i get tired most days because there's never enough time in to do all the things i *want* to do...but that is not at all the same thing as ending up in the hospital because i tried to stand through an hour long painting class, ya know?
Running out of spoons is not running out of energy, it's running out of *ability*. It's collapse. That's what people who have never had a chronic issue rarely understand. *shrug* it's a tough thing to explain.
Now I neeed to make brownies tonight. Pretty sure i can still fit in a brisk walk through the local park and cooking dinner too, if time permits :)

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

fibromyalgia diagnosis. sorry, too used to shorthand :)
heh, and i guess it makes a difference that i was in college at the time. I think teenagers and early 20 somethings have far more a sense of boundless-energy-until-you-pass-out-ness and i was super jealous of missing out on that.

Ho. Lee. Shit. I'm working in a classroom!! An honest to goodness classroom! With kids!Aims, that is AWESOME! We knew you had it in ya! Knock em dead!
a really good explanation of what it is like to have a chronic conditions - It makes me feel lucky, because I have a lot more spoons most daysI liked this. Although my condition is far from Lupus (thankfully), and many of the day to day stuff doesn't eat a spoon or two. But work sure does. And there is a huge difference between being tired, and just running out of steam. Food shop or cook? Cook or clean? By the end of the day, those are my choices. And then there is the few days to recharge your supply of spoons. And the strange one, where sitting too long can cost spoons, which boggles even me! While it's not an idea model, it is helpful to have something physical in your hand to illustrate with.
OK, well, seems my motivation has run off with Meara's. Hopefully they are having more fun than I am. Seems work is giving out one last (hopefully last) paper version of the calendar while the Stage Management Grad Students get acostumed to the google version. So I have to sift through a million events to see what has been added, so I can update my calendar. :: sigh ::
